A collection of presets and tools drawn from the printed spectacle of the Belle Époque circus - the showbills, the gaslight, the worn velvet, the smoke that hung in the air after the last act.
There's a particular feeling to a poster that's lived a hundred years. Edges softened by a thousand hands. Colours muted by sun and time. The faint warmth of paper that has yellowed in attics and frame shops, in cellars and backstage corridors. Cirque Époque is built on that feeling - and on the spectacle the paper once advertised.
Three Creative Profiles: Each main preset is paired with a custom creative profile - the colour identity of the era, built from scratch through Photoshop, these profiles carry the deep work: the rusted crimsons, the dulled teals, the warmth of aged paper. Apply a profile on its own for a quieter version of the set, or let it sit underneath its matching preset for the full atmosphere. The profiles are dial-able. Use them at full strength, or pull the profile amount back to taste - the colour identity scales with you.
The Three Acts (Presets):
Overture carries the daytime poster - sun-bleached teal skies and faded crimson, the kind of weathered grandeur that lives on a tent flap snapping in the wind. It's where the show begins, before the lamps are lit.
Spectacle is gaslight and velvet, the deeper mood of the evening performance. Crimsons hold their richness. Shadows soften into mauve. The air feels heavier, the lighting more theatrical - the moment between acts when the audience leans forward.
Encore is the printed artifact itself: a yellowed handbill tucked into a programme, the warm sepia of paper that has carried its image through a century. A black and white tribute to the showbill as object.
Atmospheric Tools:
Each preset can stand alone, but Cirque Époque includes a kit of atmospheric tools designed to shape the mood further.
Stage Smoke - the heart of the atmospheric kit. A single preset that paints theatrical haze and particulate texture across the frame - billowing smoke under the canopy, fine sawdust drifting through the light, edges bleeding inward like a real tent at performance. Drop it on as one move and the air gets heavier.
Limelight - a subject-aware spotlight inspired by the actual stage technology of 1820s theater. Subtle warmth on the performer, gentle compression on what surrounds them. The spotlight that doesn't announce itself.
Aged Showbill - the full paper-aging treatment in a single tool. Warm cast, slight tonal shift, the patina of an artifact that has spent a century in attics and frame shops.

"I love the subtle changes in color while still preserving the overall tones of an image. RGB 01 is my favorite of the three — it added just the right amount of warmth while keeping the other tones consistent, and it worked well on every skin tone I tried, from pale to tanned to darker skin tones. Crunch was awesome for bringing detail shots to life — I know it's going to be one of my go-to tools — and Grit was fun to play with, elevating things in a grainy way a lot of photographers will enjoy."
"Refreshingly different from most preset packs — RGB works with your files rather than against them, applying cleanly and predictably without crushed blacks or nuclear oranges. Across a full gallery the images felt cohesive without becoming repetitive. Highlights roll off softly — a lifesaver for newborn skin and bright window light — and skin tones stayed impressively stable, creamy and natural. There's a subtle cinematic depth that never overpowers the emotional softness this genre needs."
